When I came into the gym, I wasn't just some guy. I was a two-time Olympian.

Then I came back and restarted at the UW that fall.

Just being in the gym every day with someone with goals in common is special.

I've done nothing wrong. Some people just don't like me. Maybe I'm somebody that's easy to dislike, but I don't get it. Whatever. I'll do what I do.

I came up with American Splendor. Some people think it's American Squalor.

My confidence comes from knowing I do the right things in my life. I do the right things in the gym. I do the right things all together.
